United States Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona announced Sept. 19 that Bishop Chatard High School has been named a 2023 National Blue Ribbon School!
Bishop Chatard is one of 10 schools in the state of Indiana, and one of only 2 in Indianapolis, to receive this national honor based on academic performance. Achieving this level of recognition would not be possible without an outstanding faculty, staff, student body and, of course, parent community. Thank you for all that you do to support Bishop Chatard High School.
